Download Memorial Flowers on your cell phone

Britain's remembrance day poppies have gone high-tech: Digital versions of the red paper flowers can be downloaded to mobile telephones, reports News.com.

Mobile users can text the word POPPY to 85099 to receive a virtual poppy on their cell phone. Each text costs £1.50. ($2.60).

The poppies' move into cyberspace is a bid to get younger Britons aware of the sacrifices made by those who fell in battle, the Royal British Legion charity said on Friday. "This is the first time ," a spokesman said. "The poppy is about remembering those who did not come back."
